Chapter 382: Keep the Flame
When Han Fei heard that the division commander was still so stubborn, he was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Master, if you stay here, you will die!" We have been resisting the devil's navy, land and air forces here for several days, this is not an escape from the battle, this is a tactical transfer, although the coexistence with the fort position is heroic, but it cannot stop the devil's attack on Nanjing, as the saying goes: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood-", as long as the seeds of the independent division are still there, we can continue to fight the devils, if we all die here, who can carry our banner? Also, while Nantong and Taizhou on the other side of the river have not yet been captured by devils, the division commander, you will cross the river first with a team of men and horses and guard there, so that we will come over and have a place to stay. Otherwise, once we are surrounded by devils, we will have no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, what can we do to Nanjing to stop the little devils from slaughtering the city! ”
As soon as Han Fei said that he would slaughter the city, he immediately felt that he had missed his mouth, and sure enough, when the division commander heard it, he hurriedly asked him: "You mean that the devil will slaughter the city after capturing Nanjing?" ”
Han Fei saw that since this was the case, he simply explained: "Yes, with the consistent virtue of the devil, he will definitely slaughter the city, Nanjing is the capital of the national government, the little devil wants to slaughter the city and kill people to scare the national government, so that the Chinese are frightened and bow to them to surrender, division, you can understand the atrocities of the little devils all the way down in southern Jiangsu, they are going to destroy our species!" ”
"They dare! Brother Han, don't say anything, except for me, anyone of you can go here, the seeds of the independent division will definitely stay, but not I took it with me, I fought all my life, starting from a small soldier, experienced the fall of the Manchu Qing, the melee of the warlords, and the civil war with those ten years, after so many years of fighting, I finally understood a file of things, that is, the reason why the little devils dare to bully us is because we Chinese ourselves are too strong in internal fighting, you beat me, I beat yours for decades, I believe that although we are now defeated by the devils, as long as we can persevere, we will definitely be able to defeat the little devils, but I am already old, I am afraid I will not see this day, but you are still young, you have thoughts and brains, you can learn, you will progress, give you this chance to survive, isn't it what I, an old soldier, should do? The division commander also said what was in his heart, it turned out that he had been unwilling to retreat with Han Fei across the river, and the root cause was here.
Han Fei heard the division commander say this, so he couldn't say any more, it seemed that the division commander's will had been decided, and it was useless to persuade him again, he could only secretly keep an eye on it, and wait until the fort was really unable to hold it.
But the division commander still drew out two companies of about 300 people, and asked Han Fei to send people to cross the river first to Nantong and Taizhou on the other side of the river to fight the front station, although he planned to stay in the fort here and fight to the death with the devils, but what Han Fei said also made sense, if Nantong and Taizhou on the bank of the river were captured by the devils first, then even if Han Fei and they could cross the Yangtze River smoothly, they would have no place to stand after they went ashore, and it was always right to send people to guard those places first, although the defenders here in the fort were also overstretched.
Han Fei thought about it, and finally decided to let Liu Ruye take the two companies of the independent division to cross the river first, his platoon was temporarily under the command of Zhao Yongfu, and the spy company could not cross the river now, and it had to guard the fort to fight the devil ships.
When Liu Ruye heard that he wanted to cross the river with the two companies of the independent division, he couldn't figure it out, but he was afraid that he would end up with Zhao Yongfu at the airport, so he didn't dare to shout, so he had to accept this order, and when he heard that it was Regiment Commander Liu who also followed, he felt that he was a reliable one, and he felt a little comforted in his heart, and he should not suffer a loss if he followed the reliable one, and Han Fei and the division commander handed over the command of these two companies to him, although Regiment Commander Liu had a higher rank than him, but only assisted him as his deputy, Liu Ruye was a little embarrassed at this point, and found Head Liu and said to him: "Old Liu, I'm sorry, this time it's temporary, and when you get to Nantong and Taizhou, you will still be in charge." ”
Commander Liu has actually taken this thing very lightly, and now in this situation, there is no time to die, being able to live is already the biggest dividend, and the position and military school have a fart? Could it be that on the battlefield, the little devil saw that you were a big official and showed mercy, and the bullet had long eyes? Since the division commander appointed Liu Ruye to be the head, then he should be absolutely obedient.
Liu Ruye heard this attitude of Regiment Commander Liu, of course he was very happy in his heart, the Central Army is not very good, but this is still more admired by the absolute obedience of the superiors, in this way, my Lao Liu has also passed the addiction of being a battalion commander today, more than 300 people in two companies, almost a battalion, even Commander Liu is my deputy, is this officer still small?
Han Fei asked Liu Ruye to prepare to cross the river immediately, and it was best to cross the river immediately after Haizi and they launched a water assault on the devil fleet on the river, because after the devil suffered a loss, he would definitely come to retaliate, and when the river was full of devil gunboats and ships, how to cross the river?
This time, there is only one night left for Liu Ruye and them to prepare, and they will definitely not be able to cross the river during the day, even if the devil fleet does not come to intercept, even the planes on those devil aircraft carriers will not let go of the squadron of the Yangtze River, and only night is the best time to cross the river.
Through Station Chief Yu, the "fox" hurriedly issued an order to the brothers of Nantong and Taizhou Zhongtong Station on the other side of the river, asking them to be ready to meet the **** troops crossing the river, and all of them took action to search for the local devil spies and traitors, get any information about the devils, and report it in time.
It was quiet at night, the bullets rained down during the day, the scene of the bomb explosion was gone, and the river was also unusually quiet, as if it was very peaceful, in fact, Haizi, who was preparing to set off, understood that these were all illusions, and the devil ships on the opposite side were actually not idle, they were all making preparations before the big war, and they were about to set off for action, this battle was quite critical, and if it was fought well, it would be able to force the devil fleet to retreat, and temporarily ensure that the battery could be safe for a few days, if it was not good, then wait for a large number of devil ships to rush up, although there were fortress guns on the fort, But two fists are hard to beat with four hands, the devil fleet ships are strong and the guns are sharp, so many warships are pouring up, and the batteries will not move, there must be a lot of losses.
